An organized and efficient storage system is essential for any business that operates out of a warehouse. Warehouse storage cabinets are an excellent solution for organizing materials and supplies within a warehouse.
These cabinets offer space-saving storage options and an extra level of security to protect valuable items such as expensive power tools and machines. They can also be used to store hazardous materials safely.
Explore the features and benefits of warehouse storage cabinets and learn how they can help with your warehouse organization needs.
Types of Warehouse Storage Cabinets
Warehouse storage cabinets come in various styles and sizes, making it easy to find a cabinet that fits your organizational needs. Some of the most common types of warehouse storage cabinets include:
Plastic Storage Cabinets
Plastic storage cabinets provide compact and flexible solutions that don’t take up a lot of space. These cabinets can store tools, supplies, and documents.
In addition to being lightweight and inexpensive, plastic storage cabinets are easy to assemble and reconfigure, require minimal maintenance, and can withstand moisture, corrosion, and other environmental factors.
Plastic drawer cabinets from Shelving + Rack Systems perfectly combine strength, durability, and convenience. Constructed with a reinforced frame made of high-quality polypropylene, these cabinets are designed to last.
Mobile Storage Cabinets
Mobile storage cabinets are ideal for storing and organizing tools, uniforms, PPE, and chemical supplies. They provide maximum security with lockable doors and drawers to keep supplies secure and can also be easily moved when not in use. This makes them an ideal choice for busy workplaces that need to keep their workplace items organized and accessible.
Transport Series mobile storage cabinets from Shelving + Rack Systems are an ideal solution for those who need to store and move items around with ease. Constructed from durable 22 gauge steel, these cabinets provide flexible storage capacity with extra deep adjustable shelves that can offer 40% more storage space than standard models.
High-Density Drawer Cabinets
High-density drawer cabinets are designed to be a practical storage solution for small utility components, tools, and packaging equipment. The drawers feature full extension slides, which enable easy access to items stored inside, even those located in the back of the cabinet.
They provide complete protection from dust, dirt, and other contaminants when closed. These cabinets can also be stacked or placed side by side to maximize storage space and efficiency. Additionally, they can be used to store sensitive items as they feature pick-proof locks and anti-tamper mechanisms.
Shelving + Rack Systems drawer cabinets are the perfect way to organize and store miscellaneous minor components, allowing for easy selection. Each cabinet has two embossed runners for effortless gliding, and all frames are welded for extra strength, durability, and vertical support for stacking multiple drawers.
All Welded Heavy-Duty Storage Cabinets
These industrial storage cabinets are constructed using all welded construction rather than screws or rivets, making them highly resistant to tampering. This makes them ideal for industrial settings where there is a need for high-level security measures, such as in workshops or warehouses that handle hazardous materials.
However, all welded construction also increases manufacturing costs significantly, so these types of industrial cabinets are more expensive than others available on the market.
DuraTough™ all-welded cabinets from Shelving + Rack Systems provide superior durability in a range of applications. Available in both heavy-duty and extra heavy-duty models, our cabinets are carefully crafted with precision for optimal performance.
The heavy-duty cabinets feature 16-gauge sheet steel construction for reliable strength and protection, while the extra heavy-duty cabinets boast 14-gauge sheet steel construction, which is 25% thicker than 16-gauge, making them ideal for applications that require maximum durability.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Warehouse Storage Cabinet
When it comes to selecting the best type of cabinet for your warehouse, there are a few factors you should consider before making any purchase:
Size and Capacity
Think about how much storage space you will need for your items and what type of material you plan on storing inside the cabinet. Storage cabinets can range in capacity from drawer cabinets for small tools and components to all-welded steel cabinets with a payload capacity of up to 2000 lbs.
Cost
Choosing a cabinet that fits your budget while still delivering quality performance is essential. Consider not only the purchase price but also any potential additional costs, such as installation fees or other accessories that may be needed.
Durability and Security
Look for cabinets made from high-quality materials such as steel which will stand up to wear and tear. Also consider features such as reinforced doors, locks on drawers, riveted hinges, and adjustable feet.
Maintenance Tips for Your Warehouse Storage Cabinet
A good storage cabinet should provide years of reliable service. However, to ensure that your cabinet remains in top condition, there are a few things you can do:
Regular Cleaning
Clean the cabinet’s exterior using a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution such as soap and water. This will help to remove any dirt or dust build-up that can cause the metal to corrode.
Lubricate Moving Parts
Be sure to lubricate any moving parts regularly using a quality lubricant such as WD-40 or a similar product. This keeps everything working smoothly and reduces wear and tear.
Check for Rust
Look for any signs of rust, and if any are found, treat it immediately using a rust remover or similar product. This helps protect the metal from further damage and prolong its lifespan.
